MirrorMask trailer online

The first trailer for MirrorMask is up on Sony's official site. According to Neil's blog "It's only a taster" (it doesn't really say much about the story) and a longer trailer is coming in the future. I've been wanting to see this since I first heard about it for the Gaiman and McKean factors (Gaiman + McKean = Ubercreepycool). The Jim Henson thing doesn't hurt either (Sad the company nearly fell apart not so long ago. It's still on dodgy ground from what I understand). The movie looks like what I hope the "Coraline" movie will look like set into motion. Although I'm still slightly unnerved about Michelle Pfeiffer as the Other Mother. I suppose we'll have to see. At least it's got better omens (good omens, I dare say) as compared to "X3" currently (a writer from "Catwoman" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" first on the bill? Whuh?).

Amusing quote of the moment...

From Jessi Klein's presidential debate blog at CNN.com:
"Watching Bush talk always gives me that feeling like when you're watching an alcoholic uncle give a toast at a wedding - you're just kind of hoping he'll get through it without messing up too bad, but he inevitably does."

BWAH!

Stop. Touch. Tell.

Maybe I'm giving away too much in regards to my sense of humor, but am I the only one horribly addicted to The Venture Bros.? Barring a few moments on Best Week Ever, it's one of the few shows on tv I find laugh out loud funny. Brock Sampson is like a mulleted, Swedish Wolverine.... on crack.

Hungry for some Thorpedo?

Thorpedo Foods

The guy is in and of himself, an empire... at least that's what he's seemingly making himself. He's got a line of underwear, jewelry, endorsements all over the damn place and now these food products. Well, just water at the moment. More specifically, Thorpedo Advanced Hydration Ultra Low GI Energy Water©. Heh. Catchy. Not really. He's going to try and market this stuff to the US. Maybe it will be the next big thing since Gatorade and Red Bull... but I do have a tickling suspicion the first thing Yank marketers will change is that moniker. Although I'd like to be there when/if they try and write a jingle for "Ultra Low GI Energy Water". It sounds more like something you'd put in your carborator, doesn't it?

Maybe if they change the bottles so they're the shape of Thorpey's sveltness, not unlike the shapely Gaultier perfume/cologne bottles. I might just get a bottle.

I am left with the lingering thought though.... why doesn't he just open a restaurant like every other celebrity out there?

( For the further sake of randomness... teh pretty... )
